What are the costs of opening a non-profit public organization? What are the costs in the future (deductions to the PF, etc.) ?. I count on a detailed answer with specific numbers. The organization plans to volunteer, i.e. all workers will work on a voluntary basis. There is no idea of \u200b\u200bmaking a profit. Is it really necessary to register such an organization officially? Is it possible, without registering a volunteer organization, to interact with jur. Persons willing to support the project?

• Lawyer answer:

  The procedure for the creation and further activities of public organizations is regulated by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the Law "On Non-Profit Organizations", the Law "On Public Associations", a number of special laws (for example, the Law "On Social Protection of Persons with Disabilities"), as well as the Law "On State Registration of Legal Entities" and individual entrepreneurs. " Public organizations are created at the initiative of their founders - at least three individuals. The founders, along with individuals, may include legal entities - public associations, unless otherwise specified by the relevant special law. Members of a public organization in accordance with its charter may be individuals and legal entities - public associations, unless otherwise provided by law on certain types of public associations. The founders of a public organization acquire membership in it automatically. Members of a public organization do not have ownership rights to a share of property belonging to a public organization and are not liable for its obligations, just as a public organization is not liable for the obligations of its members. The total number of members of a public organization is not legally limited. The constituent document of a public organization is the Charter.

i want to create a non-profit organization, how do I find out which legal form is more suitable, are there so many?

• Lawyer answer:

  Public and religious organizations (associations) A common feature of public and religious organizations (associations) is the purpose of their creation - they are created to satisfy spiritual or other intangible needs. Another sign is the community of interests of uniting citizens. Consumer cooperatives. A consumer cooperative is recognized as a voluntary association of citizens and legal entities on the basis of membership in order to meet the material and other needs of the participants, carried out by combining members of property shares. Unlike other forms of non-profit organizations, the income from the business of a cooperative is distributed among its members. Funds The signs of the fund as a non-profit organization are the lack of membership, the property base created through voluntary property contributions. The fund is a kind of non-profit "bank", where funds are first accumulated through donations, and then distributed to the foundation's statutory goals - social, cultural, educational and other socially useful purposes. The Fund is obliged to publish annual reports on the use of its property. Institutions An institution is an organization created by the owner to carry out managerial, socio-cultural and other functions of a non-commercial nature and financed in part or in full by this owner. Moreover, the property is assigned to the institution on the basis of operational management, and not property. In case of insufficient funds of the institution, the owner bears subsidiary liability for its obligations. Nonprofit Partnerships A nonprofit partnership is a membership-based nonprofit organization established by citizens and (or) legal entities to assist its members in carrying out activities aimed at achieving socially useful goals. A distinctive feature of a nonprofit partnership is the right of its members to a part of the property in the event of the liquidation of the partnership or withdrawal from it. Non-profit partnership is convenient as an association of persons of free professions (lawyers, doctors, writers, etc.) Autonomous non-profit organizations An autonomous non-profit organization is recognized as a non-membership non-profit organization established by citizens and (or) legal entities on the basis of voluntary property contributions in order to provide services in the field of education, healthcare, culture, science, law, physical education, etc. The property transferred by the founders of the organization belongs to it by right of ownership. This form of non-profit organizations is most convenient for activities in the service sector. Associations of legal entities (associations and unions) Commercial and non-profit organizations may voluntarily join associations (unions) in order to coordinate their activities, as well as to represent and protect common property interests. Members of an association (union) retain their independence and the rights of a legal entity. State Corporation A new form of nonprofit organization introduced by Federal Law No. 140-ФЗ dated July 8, 1999. A state corporation is recognized as a non-membership non-profit organization established by the Russian Federation on the basis of a property contribution and created to carry out social, managerial or other socially useful functions. It is created on the basis of the law, which establishes the features of its legal status. Which form suits you?

The system of environmental rights of organizations in the Russian Federation

• Lawyer answer:

  Citizens of the Russian Federation can exercise environmental rights and obligations both individually and through participation in public environmental associations. I would like to dwell a little on public associations. A public association is a voluntary, self-governing, non-profit formation created on the initiative of citizens who have united on the basis of a common interest to realize common goals specified in the charter of a public association. The goals of creating public environmental associations include protecting the health of citizens, protecting their rights and legitimate interests, resolving disputes and conflicts in environmental activities, preparing the population to overcome the consequences of natural disasters, industrial accidents and catastrophes, providing assistance to victims of such disasters and accidents, animal welfare, protection and proper maintenance of specially protected natural sites and territories and others]. Public environmental associations may carry out their activities as a legal entity from the moment of state registration in the manner prescribed by law. State registration of public associations is carried out by the justice authorities. Both founders and members of public environmental associations can be individuals and legal entities that have equal rights and obligations. Public organizations have been granted a number of powers to carry out their functions in the field of environmental protection. According to Art. 12 of the Federal Law of January 10, 2002 No. 7-FZ “On Environmental Protection”, they have the right: - to develop and promote their environmental programs, protect the environmental rights and interests of the population, develop the ecological culture of the population, and engage volunteers in environmental activities; - at the expense of their funds and voluntary participation of the population to carry out work on the protection and reproduction of the natural environment, to assist state bodies in the fight against environmental offenses; - recommend their representatives to participate in the state environmental review, conduct public environmental review; - require administrative or judicial cancellation of decisions on the placement, construction, operation of environmentally harmful facilities and the limitation, suspension, termination or reprofiling of their activities; - require the provision of timely, reliable and complete information on environmental pollution and measures for its protection; - organize meetings, rallies, processions, demonstrations, collection of signatures, come in with proposals on the discussion of projects, referenda on environmental protection; - raise the question of bringing to justice the guilty officials, file lawsuits in court on compensation for harm to the health and property of citizens caused by an environmental offense. The state guarantees environmental and other public associations performing environmental functions, and citizens the opportunity to exercise their rights in the field of environmental protection in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation. State bodies, their officials are obliged to provide all possible assistance to public associations and citizens in the implementation of their environmental rights and obligations, to take the necessary measures to implement their proposals and requirements in organizing environmental activities.

    Autonomous non-profit organization. Its founders have no advantages - they are on equal terms with other participants. The highest governing body is the college. The founders of the Autonomous Non-profit Organization independently determine the form and procedure for the formation of the collegial supreme governing body. The collegial supreme governing body of the ANO is the general meeting of the founders or another collegial body (the Board, the Council and other forms, which may include founders, representatives of the founders, director of the ANO). The fund is not based on membership - its participants are not required to participate in the activities of the fund, do not participate in the management and are not responsible for the activities of the fund. Unlike a number of other non-profit organizations, the fund does not have the right to participate in faith partnerships as a contributor. The founders, members and participants of public funds cannot be bodies of state power and bodies of local self-government. The Board of Trustees of the fund supervises the activities of the fund, the adoption of decisions by other bodies of the fund and their enforcement, the use of the funds of the fund, and compliance with the legislation of the fund. The Board of Trustees of a foundation may apply to the court with a petition for liquidation of a foundation or amending its charter in cases provided for by law. Decisions made by the board of trustees are advisory in nature, in contrast to decisions of governing and executive bodies. Amendments to the charter of the fund, as well as its liquidation, is possible only in court. A public fund is a non-membership public association whose purpose is to form property on the basis of voluntary contributions (and other receipts permitted by law) and use this property for socially useful purposes). A public association may be created on the initiative of at least 3 individuals. Also, founders, along with individuals, may include legal entities - public associations. Public associations can carry out entrepreneurial activity only to achieve the goals for which they were created. Income from entrepreneurial activity is not distributed among the participants in associations and should be used only to achieve the statutory goals.

Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision Centers are government agencies that provide supervision of Rospotrebnadzor in Moscow and do not appeal to legal entities with “exhortations”. The Sanitary Inspection Bodies ceased to exist in 2005 with the formation of the Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Well-Being (Rospotrebnadzor in Moscow).

Vasily Kubysh is a private institution, if created by one person.

The Law "On Public Organizations of the Russian Federation" regulates relations relating to the exercise by people of their rights to form social institutions, the implementation of activities within them, their reorganization / liquidation. The same legal possibilities are established for foreign individuals and stateless persons, except for the cases provided for in regulatory enactments.

Scope

The Law "On Public Organizations and Associations" applies to all social institutions formed by citizens. The exception is religious structures. Also, the normative act does not regulate the activities of commercial structures and the non-profit unions and associations formed by them.

Rights of citizens

Individuals have the legal ability to form on a voluntary basis social institutions (public associations). The purpose of their education is the protection of collective interest and the implementation of common tasks. The right of people to unite also presupposes the possibility of joining existing institutions or refraining from this, as well as terminating their membership without any difficulties or obstacles. The formation of social institutions, thus, ensures the realization of interests and rights. The Law "On Non-Profit Public Organizations" allows their formation without the need to obtain prior permission for this from state structures, local authorities. Citizens may join such social institutions, subject to statutes. The Law "On the Creation of Public Organizations" does not establish a mandatory requirement for registration. Such social institutions can operate without acquiring the rights of a legal entity. At the choice of citizens, a public organization may be registered in the manner prescribed by the law in question.

Normative base

The rights of individuals to association, their contents, the status of organizations, the main guarantees of the state, the procedure for activity, education, liquidation / reorganization are regulated not only by the law under consideration, but also by the Civil Code, as well as a number of other regulatory acts. The specifics of the formation, functioning, structural transformations of certain types of social institutions can be regulated by specially adopted legal documents. Such organizations, for example, include trade unions, charitable foundations, etc. Normative acts adopted regarding them must comply with the legal document under consideration. These institutions may carry out their activities before the adoption of relevant laws. In this case, their functioning is regulated by the document in question.

The concept

The Law on Public Organizations discloses the definition of a social institution. It is a self-governing, voluntary formation formed on the initiative of citizens. The structure carries out its activities on a non-profit basis. Citizens form a social institution in accordance with the common interests and goals that are specified in the charter.

Subjects

The Law "On Public Organizations" establishes that citizens and legal entities can act as founders of a social institution. These entities convene a congress at which they approve the charter, form the control and audit and governing apparatus. The founders of a social institution, both legal entities and citizens, perform equal duties and are vested with equal rights. Members of a public organization - public associations  (legal entities) and individuals. Their interest is manifested in the collective solution of the tasks of the established institution on the basis of the provisions of its charter. It is drawn up by relevant documents (statements), allowing to take into account the number of members to ensure their equality as members of the organization. These entities are also endowed with equal legal opportunities and responsibilities. Members of a social institution can be elected and choose the composition of the oversight and audit and governing structures. They are also entitled to exercise control over the activities of governing bodies in accordance with the charter. In case of failure to fulfill their duties, non-compliance with the requirements of the charter, members of a social institution may be expelled from it.

Members

As them, the Law "On Public Organizations" names legal entities and citizens who express support for the goals of the established institution, for specific actions held by it. Such entities participate in the activities of the structure without the need to necessarily draw up the terms of their assistance, unless otherwise provided in the charter. Like founders and members, participants have equal responsibilities and rights.

Kinds

The Law "On Public Organizations" allows the formation of:

1. Motions.
2. Funds.
3. Organizations.
4. Institutions.
5. Amateur bodies.
6. Political parties.

Public organization

It is based on membership. Such a structure is formed to carry out joint activities. The goals of education are to ensure the protection of interests and the implementation of tasks provided for in the charter. Members may be legal entities and individuals, unless otherwise provided by the Federal Law "On Public Organizations" under consideration. The highest governing structure of a social institution is considered a conference (congress) or meeting. A collegial body acts as a permanent management apparatus. It reports to the conference or general meeting. A social institution may go through state registration. In this case, the constantly operating management apparatus exercises the rights of a legal entity on behalf of the organization and fulfills its duties in accordance with the charter.

Traffic

As it is, the Law "On Public Organizations of the Russian Federation" recognizes an institution consisting of participants not on the basis of membership. This structure is distinguished by its mass character. A movement may pursue political, social, or other socially useful goals that are supported by its participants. The highest governing apparatus is a conference / congress or meeting. The standing body is the elected collegial structure. It reports to the meeting or congress. During state registration of movement, its governing body, which acts continuously, fulfills its duties and exercises rights on behalf of the institute on the basis of the provisions of the charter.

Territorial distribution

Currently, there are interregional, all-Russian, regional and local organizations. The former should be understood as an institution whose activities are carried out on the basis of statutory goals in a territory that covers less than half of all subjects of the country. In each district, however, they have their own branches, representative offices, and branches. An all-Russian organization is called an association that carries out its work in more than half of the country's subjects. They also have their units in the administrative-territorial units. Regional associations refer to organizations operating within the same entity. There are also local social institutions. They work within the territory controlled by the self-government body. For more specific regulation of these institutions, special regulatory documents may be adopted. For example, the law "On regional public organizations."

Principles

This regulatory document provides that:

Limitations

The legislation contains a number of prohibitions regarding the creation and subsequent activities of public organizations. In particular, the formation and functioning of social institutions, the goals or activities of which are characterized as extremist and aimed at inciting ethnic and other hatred, is not allowed. This ban was introduced on August 10, 2002. A public organization may include in the program and constituent documentation provisions relating to the protection of ideas about social justice. The formulation of such concepts cannot be considered as measures that contribute to inciting social discord. Restrictions on the formation of certain types of public associations (organizations) may be formulated and approved exclusively within the framework of federal legislation.
